Mission Statement

Beyond Expectations helps teens, including those in foster care, to speak out through film.

Description

Nearly 13 years ago a group of concerned parents in Burlington County, New Jersey were concerned with the limited information being shared with our teenage children. Troubled specifically by the lack of exposure to college and careers beyond high, we decided to work in tandem with the local school system to provide them with access ourselves.

More than 4,000 families have since been exposed to what’s possible for their futures, thanks in large part to the introduction of our extremely popular Teen Film Program.

Although open to all teens, most participants have either been in foster care and/or facing emotional and behavioral issues. At the end of the day though, they’re all just teens ... and all have an important role on a Beyond Expectations film set!
